My First German Airbrush Build | Airfix 1/72 Scale Fw 190 F-8 Full Build & Review

Описание: Welcome to the full version of my build of the Airfix 1/72 scale Focke-Wulf Fw 190 F-8!
Join me as I revisit the first single engine ww2 kit I bought as a child nearly 9 years ago and for the first time I airbrush a German winter scheme...

✂️ Starting with the 2019 reissue of the 2013 Airfix A-8 kit, I convert it into an F-8 ground-attack variant.
🎨 Next, I airbrush a mid-war Luftwaffe fighter scheme for the very first time, before applying winter camouflage to replicate “Red 2” of Schlachtgeschwader 2 (Hungary, 1945) — the scheme featured on Airfix’s 2013 F-8 box art.
🛠️ Finally, I add finishing touches: metal chipping, enamel washes, exhaust stains, mud and snow effects with pigments and Vallejo Snow, before giving my full review of the kit.

Whether you’re a scale model builder, Luftwaffe aircraft fan, or just love Airfix kits, this is a step-by-step showcase of assembly, painting, weathering, and finishing techniques.
